Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

If the OP were here, she'd tell us that mothers are the foremost authorities on the heath of their children, cuz the uterus is a vast repository of medical knowledge or somesuch. Therefore, whatever mom says goes, and any intervention by the authorities is tyranny most foul.

Of course, that does not apply to moms who are negligent in caring for their children, but following the advice of Facebook anti-vaxxers is never, ever negligence. To the contrary, following such advice is per se reasonable.

That's a sad story, to be sure, but let's face it: if elderberries and breastmilk couldn't cure that kid, his condition was incurable.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

Anti-vaxxers in Maine got a referendum on the ballot that would have restored vaccination exemptions the state legislature did away with last year. The referendum got butchered like a hog at the polls earlier this week.

Surely we can expect raving from Maine anti-vaxxers about how the Jews and their Big Pharma minions were stuffing ballot boxes with fake "No" votes, but for now the forces of reason have prevailed.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

Since this here thread also serves as a repository of quackery stories, let's take a moment to express our appreciation for the recent work of New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Televangelist and all-around piece of shit Jim Bakker has been humping a product called Silver Solution on his teevee show. Some quack named Sherrill Sellman told ol' Jim's viewers that Silver Solution drives COVID-19 from the human body within 12 hours. AG James issued cease and desist notices to Baker and Sellman earlier this week.

Yesterday, Ms. James issued a similar notice to crackpot-bilking fraud Alex Jones. So much for Superblue Toothpaste, which ol' Alex tells us "kills the whole SARS-corona family at point-blank range."

If America's favorite day-drinking public money thief were here, she'd no doubt tell us all about how this government lawyer is abusing her power by squelching the free speech rights of these brave alt-med heroes.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

If only peacegirl were here to answer some of my many questions about this exciting time. After all, we are witnessing a glimpse of the anti-vaxxer utopia, yes? The entire global population, enjoying a perfect moment of freedom when they cannot be coerced into submitting to a vaccine, because none exists.

For example, I understood that infectious disease had started to disappear on its own before widespread vaccination, because of improvements in hygiene and sanitation. How do we apply that knowledge to this global pandemic?

And finally, I trust that she and her cohort (quite elderly with various underlying conditions) are out there bringing truth to the front lines in ICUs, comforting the dying as they are drowned by their own irrational immune responses, telling them that at least they are not more victims of big pharma, and whispering in their ear as the ventilator gasps away, have you ever wondered if maybe this is all just a hoax? And let me tell you about a mother's love, and some facts about light.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

If old Janis were here, she could tell us exactly what anti-vax hero Donald Trump meant when he said this "germ" is "brilliant" because antibiotics won't kill it. Ah well, she'd never give us the satisfaction of admitting it, but I strongly suspect she's checking in on a daily basis. Surely she is nodding her head in approval at the wisdom of Chuck's last post, presented as always in a manner that brooks no opposition.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

I'm an anti vaxxer which is why I think we should just all get herd immunity by exposing ourselves to the virus to get antibodies, ideally a weakened version of the virus, in some sort of doctor's office or pharmacy

Things are getting real for convicted felon alt-med hero Jim Bakker. According to ol' Jim, credit card companies are not even processing his transactions since Letitia Jones and the other jackbooted thuggie-wuggs started giving him grief over exercising his God-given right under the Free Exercise Clause to commit fraud.

You anti-vaxxers should send checks and/or cash to Jim Bakker right away. For freedom.

Re: Parents, do your due diligence on vaccination! There are serious risks!!

Some day soon we will have a vaccine for the (corona) common cold.

Take a look at medical encyclopedias over these past decades. Coronavirus is listed as the common cold.

Do you people ever read books, like those published before now? Or do you just read the current internets stream of current propaganda?
